DATASHEET
ISL68124
Digital Dual Output, 4-Phase Configurable, PWM Controller with PMBus
The
ISL68124
is a digital dual output, flexible multiphase
(X+Y
≤
4) PWM controller supporting the latest PMBus 1.3
specifications. Either output can be configured to support any
desired phase assignments up to a maximum of four phases
across the two outputs (X+Y). For example, 3+1, 2+2, 2+1, or
even a single output operation as a 4+0 configuration are
supported. The ISL68124 uses Intersil’s proprietary linear
synthetic digital current modulation scheme to achieve the
industry’s best combination of transient response and ease
of tuning while addressing the challenges of modern
multiphase designs.
Device configuration and telemetry monitoring is
accomplished using Intersil's intuitive PowerNavigator™ GUI.
The ISL68124 device supports on-chip nonvolatile memory to
store various configuration settings that are user selectable
through pin-strap, giving system designers increased power
density to configure and deploy multiple configurations. The
device supports an automatic phase add/drop feature to allow
maximum efficiency across all load ranges. Thresholds for
automatic phase add/drop are user programmable using the
powerful PowerNavigator GUI.
The ISL68124 supports a comprehensive fault management
system to enable the design of highly reliable systems. From a
multitiered overcurrent protection scheme, to the configurable
power-good and output overvoltage/undervoltage fault
thresholds and temperature monitoring, almost any need is
accommodated.
With minimal external components, easy configuration, robust
fault management, and highly accurate regulation capability,
implementing a high-performance, multiphase regulator has
never been easier.
